I'm not a plastic surgeon, and I cannot change the DNA of a person, but when I see a woman try on my clothes and she feels beautiful, I know I am doing my job.

There is nothing scarier than being ‘the designer of the moment,’ because the moment ends.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I don't go out to parties because I'd look terrible in pictures. My escape is television - it's like meditation to me.
Alber Elbaz
Image
At Yves Saint Laurent, I felt like the son-in-law - like I was part of the family, but not quite. When I was fired, I felt like the widow.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I am not interested in perfection, and neither are the women who wear my clothes.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I work on fittings, mostly. You know, I sketch less and less in my work. I sketch for the show sometimes, but then it becomes more conceptual. But when I don't sketch, it becomes more pragmatic.

I'm not going into the cool club. It's not my address.

Sometimes you don't really need armor to feel protected. Sometimes maybe you need just a chiffon dress to hug you.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Run away from laziness work hard. Touch intuition and listen to the heart, not marketing directors. Dream.

Alber Elbaz
Image
I created the peplum so you can eat in it. You can have a dessert, you can have another sandwich.
Alber Elbaz
Image
Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I like first class, but I don't like first class people - I prefer the people in coach. I like fine restaurants, but prefer the taste of McDonalds. I like to be perfect, but I don't like perfection - I think it's dangerous. There is nothing after perfection. I know, I am a walking contradiction.

I don't want to see a dress with a woman. I just want to see a woman, with a beautiful dress.
Alber Elbaz
Image
I wanted to see people from different age groups, body shapes and personalities wearing Lanvin That is what Lanvin is all about and represents - we dont only do clothes for 20-year-old girls. I love to see mature women wearing Lanvin as well. I love wrinkles, I love grey hair.

Fashion is about having a fantasy.
Alber Elbaz
Image
It was not the story of design or clothes, it was the fantasy of women that made me want to work in fashion.
Alber Elbaz
Image
If I wasn't a designer I would love to be a doctor. That is my fantasy, my dream. A doctor will give you a tablet if you have a headache and I will give you a dress and we both make you feel good.
